The decision is a victory for DOJ in cases against 100s of defendants charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly & disruptive conduct, one of the staple charges that has been applied to nearly every member of the mob that entered the halls of Congress" #legal

Some random person told me they are blocking me because I don't block threads.

And I wonder, why did he tell me this? Can someone be so arrogant and self-centered to believe that I would care that he, a total stranger, has blocked me? Does he think that he is so important that this would hurt me? Whatever was he expecting the impact to be from me?

He blocked me. So, why would I care???

I live on this planet with people, but I definitely don't understand a lot of them.

Your thoughts? Help me understand.
